RINGWALL - Northumberland & Northeast

We’ve always had a soft spot for the *Ringwall*, a steamship lost in 1941. At 38 metres, it’s a dive for those comfortable with deeper conditions and cooler North Sea temperatures. You’ll find the wreck largely intact, with a single boiler standing proud and the compound expansion engine still recognisable, a real testament to its 1921 build. This structure provides a fantastic home for local critters, often thick with wrasse, crabs, and plenty of plumose anemones waving in the current. It’s a proper historical wreck, perfect for a relaxed exploration rather than a dash through the hull.
